Description

Note: if I can give my children nothing else, I would endeavor to make them heirs to hope. From the pen of the author of Concrete Jungle is perhaps his most compassionate and revealing story yet, a novel of overwhelming candor and beauty, where triumph is illuminated through the poetry of tragedy, comedy, bitterness, and hope. In the dying light of the day, the kingdom is forced to realize that life is too short, time is too precious, and the stakes are too high to doubt the crucial caveats that give the last unanswerable word on the poverty of helplessness-a princess forced into a nightmarish journey of despair by the desperation, circumstance and the predatory will of deceitful villains, and by legends conceived in fairytale and flowered in evil. Each character reflects a visual pageantry that speaks through the quiet elegance of an example isolated in the indulgence of possibility. Here is a refreshing story of mythical forests, storybook kingdoms and fascinating lands that stretches the imagination around an unforgettable tale of hope and faith and the audacity to believe in a dream come true.
